tModLoader Official tModLoader Help Thread

[Dacern]

Look at where your SetDefaults() ends. You need to close it after defaults, and override AddRecipes to add a new recipe, last I checked. Hope that helps.

Oh my gosh, I just forgot this. Thank you very much.
That was a stupid mistake, but easy to fix at least.
public override void AddRecipes()

Thanks. But what about the Moonlord one? That also gives me the same error.

If you want to add sound to an item, I recommend using the setup put in item.UseSound = SoundID.Item_____;
fill in the blank with the sound number, which can be found under Spoiler: item.useSound sfx, which is under under Spoiler: List of Sounds.
just take this link. tModLoader - Dust and Sound Catalogue 2

Okay so I've looked around for maybe an hour or two just trying to find a an XNB to WAV file converter, I want to get a pure source WAV file so I can do some audio remixing but I cant find any converter. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Also this is my first post here so please direct me where to ask or look if this isn't the right place.

Maybe put it into an audio editor? Something like soundtrap, and then export as a WAV file.
Not sure if it works, but it's the best help I can give.

I'm sure there's tons of stuff here about it, but I can't seem to get my projectiles to rotate in the direction they're moving. If anyone can give me some raw code I can ctrl+C, ctrl+V into my current projectile code, I would be grateful.
Or even any help in general would be useful.

I'm fairly certain you can just put in the following line on a conditional:

Main.NewText("<Your message here>", 255, 255, 33); //255, 255, and 33 are rgb colours.

ah, well that’s fine. I didn’t have a particular idea for it, I was mostly just curious lol

 

[Piercepotato]

I don't think it's possible to make an alternate dimension, at least, not without some serious overriding of code and increasing world file size by a good amount. Unlike other games that use multiple worlds/dimensions in their "world", Terraria has one big map that covers the whole world. Sorry to disappoint.

Whoops i replied to the wrong post XP
My response is the post above lol

 

[HAMILHAM]

my tmodloader wownt open it keeps saying I have ran out of memory I have uninstalled the mods and it still keeps saying that

 

[xxajitatorxx]

Ok so I'm having a bit of trouble with launching tmodloader. Everytime I try to launch the thing it keeps giving me an error message and says
..\Terraria\Terraria.exe is not the executable.
GOG installs must have the unmodified Terraria executable to function.
Can anyone help me out with this. I have no idea what to do.

I am makung a mod that allows you to resummon a boss if you get killed by it.

I dont exactly know how, but i feel like not only would it probably be easier, but also work better if you just test if the player dies while a boss is alive.

 

[E253MechaShadow]

Here's a major problem I have.
I'm using the 64-bit branch of tModLoader and quite a number of mods:

Spoiler: Modlist

"AAMod",
"AlchemistNPCLite",
"BossChecklist",
"CalamityMod",
"CalamityModMusic",
"CalamityRuTranslate",
"chadsfurni",
"Consolaria",
"ControlTrash",
"CosmeticVariety",
"CrystiliumMod",
"DictionaryOfPrefixes",
"Fargowiltas",
"FKBossHealthBar",
"OrchidMod",
"SacredTools",
"SmartDoors",
"StormDiversSuggestions",
"ThoriumMod",
"WeaponOut"

Most of the time when I try loading more content mods and starting the game, it functions very strangely:
- none of the NPCs can be talked to;
- pressing ESC doesn't access the inventory, the crafting menu or the game settings;
- but it does hold my character in place and makes him invincible, even in mid-air;
- collecting an item may cause it to multiply all over my inventory.

Everything else (except these VERY BASIC features) seems to work fine. Here are some of the mods that caused this:
Antiaris, Fargo's Souls, Calamity Vanities, AlchemistNPC Lite.
Sometimes it happens, sometimes doesn't.

 

[Drachenkeks]

Does anyone know how to make a chainsaw or jackhammer like tool?
I cant find anything about that in the tmodloader example mod ^^'

[Magi∆]

I actually got it fixed by DestoR, now I just can’t equip it, so here’s new code, it gives no errors, just can’t equip it
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Terraria; using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;
namespace ARandomMod.Items.Armor
{ [AutoloadEquip(EquipType.Head)]
public class MagiMask : ModItem
{ public override void SetStaticDefaults()
{
Tooltip.SetDefault("Magi's mask. You shouldn't have this");
DisplayName.SetDefault("Magi's Mask");
} public override void SetDefaults()
{
item.width = 18;
item.height = 18;
item.value = 10003;
item.rare = 4;
item.defense = 9999;
} public override void AddRecipes()
{ ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.DirtBlock, 1);
recipe.AddTile(TileID.WorkBenches);
recipe.SetResult(this);
recipe.AddRecipe();
}
}
}
}

You should like uninstall it through steam if that’s where u got them from, then reinstall it. But you probably already tried that.
